Flowering rush is a horrible…

Flowering rush is a horrible invasive species that has no place in the lakes of Ontario. It crowds out other native species and native, aquatic wildlife, blocks off, waterways, prohibiting people from getting to their property, and propagates like wildfire. Not only should it be prohibited, but there should be active measures, introduced by the government on how to get rid of it, including licensed, herbicide removal, etc., Despite years of telling the government and other stakeholders about the propagation of this invasive species at Lake of the woods, our comments have mostly been ignored, and nothing done to aid or even enable people to rid of this horrible plant. There is so much effort by the MNR to make restrictions in the Clearwater Bay Area to protect the fish, it is astounding that they have done absolutely nothing about this and it’s choking out the natural habitat all over Clearwater bay in the shallow areas.
